The Nervous System and the Senses 163 ^KSSHT mit stimuli from the sense organs and some to carry stimuli from the nervous system to the various organs of the body. The nerve fibers there- fore are often compared with wires used in con- ducting electric energy from place to place. In an hypothetical generalized insect em- bryo we should doubt- less find a ganglion for each segment of the body, probably twenty in all, but the ganglia of the bee larva are modified from the primi- tive condition and in the adult still further specialization is ob- served, by the fusion of various ganglia. The brain (Fig. 85), situated above the oesoph- agus, consists of three consecutive ganglia, rec- ognizable in the embryo, but completely fused and not readily recognizable in the adult. From the brain, two short connec- tives (circum-cesopha- geal) pass one on either side of the oesophagus to the subcesophageal ganglion (SceGng) also located in the head. Continuous with the brain are the optic lobes (Opl) forming the nervous connection with the large compound eyes (E), and from the brain are nerves to the antennae (AntNv) and also to the frontal ganglion (FtGng), from.
